Hi! I'm Elizabeth Ann and I'm so glad you decided to visit my blog! I spend my days mothering while crafting, cooking, blogging, creating, learning, and dreaming - but through all this I just want to get more of Jesus and love him more.

And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything, in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17

To every person there comes in their lifetime that special moment when you are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to you and your talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds you unprepared or unqualified for work which could have been your finest hour.

Lesson: Read the chapter before class so it is fresh on your mind. Show the kids in your Bible where Genesis is and talk about it being the very first book in the Bible. While the Bible is open, summarize Genesis 3 in your own words.

Discussion Questions:

Why did Adam hide from God? He was afraid because he knew he had sinned.

Draw a tree on paper for each child. At the bottom of the paper write "God showed his love you us. While we were sinners ___________ died for us!

Have the kids color the tree truck brown. Drizzle some glue on the tree tops for each child and have them spread the glue out with their paint brush and then add the tissue paper squares. Give them each some red stickers for fruit and have them add them to their trees. Talk about how God showed us mercy by sending Jesus to die for us, sinners. Have them write the word "Jesus" in the blank on their papers.

Game - Hide and Seek

Play a game of hide and seek in your classroom. We turned out the lights for the kids to hide and turned them on for the seeker to find his friends. Connect this to the lesson by reminding the kids that we can never hide from God.

Verse: but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
